2014 NIT Predictions

Well if you do not get an invite to the NCAA Tournament, at least you can get an invite to the National Invitation Tournament. And as I always say, the NIT was once in fact the more prestigous postseason tournament but as we can tell, those days are long gone. That said, for the teams that did not get bids, or won their conference regular season titles without winning their postseason title, a solid run in the NIT can be a nice consolation prize.

Championship - April 3rd (Madison Square Garden)
#1 Minnesota vs. #4 Green Bay
This Phoenix club is very good and I think should have been in the tournament. So in this all-Midwest final, give me Green Bay in what may be considered an upset.
Pick: Green Bay
